Foursquare ECS XXVII Equidem 2010 70cl bottle

Aged rum · 14 years · 61%

Foursquare ECS XXVII Equidem 2010

First thing people notice is the color — startlingly dark for a Foursquare, almost Oloroso-like. That comes from a Black Muscat cask finish over the usual bourbon-aged base, and it layers dark berries, plum jam and cassis over the classic caramel-vanilla-cocoa DNA. Full, oily body, a peppery ginger kick, and a long dry-tannic finish. The 61% shows some bite young, so a few drops of water help.

The community says
  • Dark berries, plum
  • Oily, full body
  • Keep in mind: Slightly hot young

How does Foursquare ECS XXVII Equidem 2010 taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Dark, berry-rich Foursquare with cask-strength kick Many call it the best ECS in years — the Black Muscat cask adds real dark-fruit depth. A handful find it a touch too sweet or the alcohol slightly hot when young.

I was very excited about this rum after all the positive reviews. The dark color is already very impressive. On the nose I get plum jam, chocolate or rather dusty cocoa powder, in the background also slightly sour (papaya, bitter orange...), blackcurrants. On the palate, the high ABV pushes quite hard, but not yet to the point of being biting. Notes of leather, cherry wood, barrel (tannins), dark chocolate. The experiment with the Black Muscat cask was a real success! For me, it's on a par with the Pleni, Raconteur and Absolutio (all of which I had at 88 points)

First of all, thanks to Jörg for the sample. The finish makes it stand out from the crowd, but for me it's still a profile that I wouldn't need a bottle of. But I've never really "understood" Foursquare, so it's quite possible that it's just me.

Fantastic and complex rum. Needs time to open up and improved by adding a bit of water to take some bite away. The nose is rich, with jam, palm and dark fruits and dark chocolate. On the palate, there is leather dried fruits, chocolate and caramel. The finish continues the berries, and chocolate with some spice.

8,7:On the nose, spiciness with medicinal notes, is the first impression we get, toasted coconut, roasted wood with nuts, leather, caramel and cocoa and dried fruits like apricots, raisins. On aeration, black tea might be present, some other vegetal tones, then a lot of fruits as plum, black currant, dark berries and citrus fruits from wine finish and dark chocolate, a whiff of smoke. 9:On the palate, the attack is delicious with variety of black muscat finish fruits like dark berries with black berry, perhaps, prunes, raisins, dried apricots, fresh plum and main Bajan mark, toasted coconut.The wood is roasted with leather, caramel, dark chocolate, creamy, slightly resinous and tannic, spicy with cinnamon...so bourbon&black muscat notes.Citrus&banana pastry joins, when the rum is well oxidized. 8,9:The finish is great, long and tannic, dry, syrupy like dark fruits marmelade, with sweet roasted wood notes and baking spices...

What a color! The Equidem is very dark in the glass and literally screams chocolate, dried fruit, leather, plums and blackberries. And that's exactly what it delivers. Oily and pleasantly warm on the palate, with more cocoa, chocolate and wood on the long finish. This Foursquare was already very hyped before its release in Germany. And rightly so!

The nose is very inviting and relatively sweet. Chocolate, dried fruits, caramel, vanilla, coconut, and various spices. I really like it. On the palate, very oily/creamy, lots of spices that I can't quite place, maybe even cardamom and nutmeg. Along with chocolate and woody notes. Overall, a very good and easy-drinking Foursquare, without reinventing the wheel. Edit: Initial rating confirmed. Very tasty Foursquare, but still just behind the Absolutio and the Plenip. However, clearly better value for money 👍

Wow, wow. Insanely complex, powerful Foursquare. The finish in the Black Muscat barrel fits like a glove on the Foursquare eye. This combination is really amazing. I'm not really a sweet person, but the sweetness of a summer jam is just perfect here. This creamy complexity is second to none. For me, this is the best Foursquare I've had in a glass so far, a touch ahead of the Absolutio. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Stands out from the standard Foursquare mash. Doesn't have to hide behind the Velier bottlings.

It is very dark ... Nose dark dried fruits, blackberries, pepper, chocolate, some clove and baking spice. Pleasant sweetness on the palate... Alcohol slightly biting and sharp-edged on the tongue (should have given it more time) Dried fruits also here clearly with chocolate some coconut ... something peppery hot comes again and again with but does not interfere at all but makes it then but something special . I don't see a 90+ here, it's just not different enough for that, at least for me.

Old Bourbon-Foursquare meets dark red wine. Tasted together with Velier Absolutio and there are many similarities. Versatile fruity (e.g. typical orange, banana, coconut), spices, caramel à la Foursquare, but then many dark fruits and cocoa. Very good, one of the best ECS.

This is not a high value rum in the sense that it is an obvious buy or an absolute must-have, but if you have the money to buy it, you are 100% getting value for money. In terms of the rum, this rum is fantastic. Equidem is a great example of taking the Foursquare DNA that we all know and love and honing in on all the rich, dark and savory notes. After adding a few drops of water it really opens up, doesn't quite evolve into a completely different rum, but it feels much more cohesive overall. 🤩🤩

Tasted this unique rum during Sweden Rumfest 2025. It’s a blend of rum distilled in a copper double retort pot still and a twin column still. This bottling from Foursquare is also a blend of two rums where one of them partly was aged in Black Muscat casks which is the first time for Foursquare. The nose is intense, complex, juicy, fruity, sweet and spicy with aromas of raisin, nectarine, plum, lemon, clementine and with a hint of marzipan, ginger and turmeric. At the palate it’s complex, full bodied, creamy, smooth, fruity and sweet with flavors of caramel, jam, peaches and plums. The finish is rather long, bitter and spicy with flavors of black tea and ginger.

I've been looking forward to this release for a long time. One of the darkest Foursquare in the glass that I have tasted so far. On the nose, I find leather or old leather armchairs, dark chocolate and dried fruit, plus some spices such as clove. Incredibly intense on the palate. Sweetness at first, then a jammy fruitiness, followed by dark chocolate and some leather. However, the alcohol is already pushing quite a bit out of the freshly opened bottle. Like almost all Foursquare ECS releases, the Equidem also benefits greatly from a little (1-2 tsp water to 2 cl) water, which opens it up and takes away the sharpness. Then it's just a heavenly marmalade, the fruitiness comes to the fore and the darker aromas recede somewhat. The finish is medium-long with a heavy sweetness and jam. A really nice release and for me in direct comparison on the same high level as the Absolutio, whereby the Absolutio for me has more of a port fruitiness with more dried fruit and the Equidem more of a velvety, jammy fruitiness in line with its maturation.

Wow, finally another ECS Foursquare that stands out from the others, which are usually very high quality. The alcohol is more than super integrated. I'm thrilled. Of course, I'll still have to try how it fares against the Absolutio. That's why one or two points may change in the rating.

This bottling has the hype quite rightly with the quite extraordinary Black Muscat Cask Finish! It has strong parallels to the Velier Foursquare Absolutio (comparison to come) but seems almost better balanced and has an incredibly beautiful mouthfeel. Very creamy, heavy and simply a great viscosity. Aromatically, port and red wine notes meet dark chocolate, caramel, some typical coconut and banana, but also rather atypical notes of cassis, blackberry and plums, which are complemented very pleasantly in the finish by a slightly spicy ginger kick (ginger sticks dipped in dark chocolate). Really great bottling and highly recommended!🇧🇧👏🏼 Update: in a direct comparison with Absolutio, it comes out on top. Significantly sweeter, more caramelly and the alcohol is not quite as well integrated in direct comparison. But that's complaining at a high level!

#5644 08.09.2025 Enjoying some samples after an extended workday helping a colleague. Nose Fresh, round, wood, vanilla, light leather spice, cherry, light caramel, light earthy. Palate Oily, wood, light tannins, roasted, spice, light cherry, light citrus, banana, light chocolate, light smoke, faint cinnamon. Finish Long, wood, light tannins, faint smoke, light coconut, light chocolate, light berries, spice. Empty glass Vanilla, chocolate, banana, light coconut, light berries. The colour of this rum surprised me a lot because it's extremely dark compared to the other releases.

Tasted twice in samples, and the first time blind. This Foursquare release is a must-have! Complex, balanced, very well integrated alcohol, nice length. You alternate between caramelized sensations, slightly dark notes of dark chocolate/leather, and a slight bitterness of berry/tannin.

Insanely deep, beautiful color. Chocolate, coffee, spices. The Fourquare coconut is recognizable, but in the background. Tobacco, spice. Not very complex, but well melted. Perfection in the integration of the alcohol. In the mouth, peppery spiciness, wood, dried fruit, caramel and spice. Full-bodied, warm and very strong. Lots of milk chocolate. Long, spicy finish. The Equidem - a simple name by Foursquare standards - certainly ranks at the top end of Seale's oeuvre. Not quite typical, the profile looks strongly towards 🇬🇾. Agree with Michael, certainly a top companion to a cigar. 🙏 for this beautiful sample!

Wow, this ECS really stands out in this iconic collection from Richard Seale's distillery. Among the best I've ever tasted. All the typical and classic FS markers are present on the nose and palate; various declensions of caramel (cream, candy, fudge), honeyed character, brown sugar, sore throat syrup, alcohol that kicks just right (lively nose and warm palate), woody presence (cask, vanilla, dark chocolate, spices). Dried coconut, of course, but also magnificent dried fruits (currants, dates, plums, figs) and dehydrated dark berries (blackcurrant, elderberry), all of which come from the black muscat cask. 💡Tasted again and I affirm that this Equidem is among the very good RQPs of the moment at the release price (~99🍒). On a par with some of Velier's Foursquare selections from his black bottle collaboration.

The nose points towards Foursquare or Belize with a very round, pleasing impression, I would say. Palate: au-yes, very round, alcohol 55-60%, lots of dried fruits, bourbon, I can imagine tasting a port or sweet wine finish Finish: medium long finish with bourbon and roasted notes I like it very much, my guess is Barbados/Foursquare. Resolution: RX22143 Foursquare Equidem!

A powerful rum with a strong character, intense roasted aromas, dark chocolate and a fine spiciness. Notes of dried fruit, leather and a hint of tobacco unfold on the palate, accompanied by a pleasant bitterness. The alcohol is well integrated and gives the rum a pleasant warmth. A complex and well-balanced rum.

👃🏼Lots of black and red fruits, something close to a cooked wine. Ripe grape, a Porto side. The whole is very complex and balanced. Plum, a bit of blackcurrant, which brings a perceptible astringency to the smell. There are also traces of bitter orange, among the light spices. The woodiness of the 14 years spent in barrel is there, but delicate. 👅 It is hot but well integrated despite the highest alcohol content of all the bottles. Lots of spices and it would be complicated to name them all. Vanilla blends with bitter orange, and it has a very tannic side that leaves a big opulence on the tongue and palate. It's ample, oily, dry. Roundness is brought by this plum and this cooked wine, more discreet than in the nose, and it is compensated by the bitterness of dark chocolate. 🎆 The finish is very long, harsh, with lots of tannins.

Rum tasted at GRF in Berlin in 2026. A rather dark nose for a Foursquare. A beautiful complexity with leather, dark chocolate, old varnished wood, dried fruits including coconut and prunes. The first palate is both powerful and smooth, balanced and deep. Is it the best Foursquare of the RCS series? Yes, maybe. The finish is long and all the aromas stay until the end.

A real pleasure from start to finish. This Foursquare reveals a remarkable concentration of aromas, with power that's present but always under control. Very fat and oily, it expresses itself through a purée of ripe fruit, dominated by plum and accompanied by a touch of chocolate. A mixture of wood and caramel enrich the whole. The finish prolongs the tasting experience, with a long-lasting sweetness that coats the palate (+ a slight freshness). An experience I simply adored.

There were times when no Foursquare would have scored over 80 points with me. Those days are over and this rum is really beautiful. The nose is intensely fruity - very dry and ripe. The plum is indeed prominent. In the mouth, the fruit becomes more berry. In the mouth, I have an irritating sticky note, which turns this very harmonious rum into a more interesting rum. The finish is a little disappointing, but without any off-flavors. Very good Foursquare.

And here we have another FS ECS again and I must say it is very successful, I like the ex muscat very much. On the nose I smell raisins, overripe plums, a touch of sour tangerines and marzipan. The taste is nice and smooth to creamy, caramel dominates along with plum and peach jam. A ginger spiciness comes in on the finish which ends with a bitter tail reminiscent of black tea (the spiciness remains). Richard Seale, I am again very pleased.

Very nice Foursquare. Even if I place it below Pleni or Absolutio, it has resources. Its finish gives it a real plus. We find the usual markers of the distillery, coconut, caramel, chocolate, spices, and woodiness... to which we add notes of blackcurrant, a hint of citrus, and a little pepper. Nice juice in any case 💪💪

Finally I have the much-praised Equidem in a jar. And I have to say. It doesn't disappoint at all, but offers a consistently broad aroma spectrum that goes beyond the standard Foursquare notes. Lots of fruit that also has some sweetness, the finish is a little drier and the tannins come out clearly.

The first sample on this vacation, I had to hold back for a long time and was accordingly excited! Very dark in the glass, the impressively strong aroma spreads and even neighbors get some of it - very nice. On the tongue then the expected aromas of dark chocolate, massive spice hits from different directions, dark fruits like dried cherries. However, there is also a slight sharpness on the edges of the tongue due to the high ABV. This might also have been favored by the relatively high temperature of 33°C here, I definitely have to test it again at 20-23°C.

The abv level is intense but nicely present and its has peppery feel to it. Good amount of sweetness. Mainly Dark chocolate and dried fruits. Woody and leather. Complex. Finish: Medium-long finish. Quite rich and complex finish. Wood, spices and fruits. Bitterness on the very end. In overall im impressed. Black moscat as a cask choice is new to me, but i believe its good choice on this one. I really liked the mouthfeel on this one, good abv and touch of pepper. Finish was really good too. So far my favorite from Foursquare ECS series

A very good strong and complex rum. It's a rum that needs to rest a bit before tasting. On the nose you can clearly find the woody smells of the cask. On the palate, flavors of chocolate, dark fruits and vanilla are added. The 60° is very present and I find it suffers a bit from the hype it had at its release. Definitely not a rum for beginners.

Nose opens on caramel, oak and dried fruit. It's unmistakably a Foursquare but it has a small something additional to it. On the palate it starts sweet with caramel and much more dried fruits. Wood is still present but there is no bitterness. It's a an exemple of balance. Final is on caramel and sweetness. It's a very solid rum, especially for it's price.

👃🏼 = lively aromas of wood, red and black fruits, coconut, banana, vanilla, a little caramel. 👄 = the strength of this alcohol is immediately expressed on the palate with orange, a little creaminess and a certain lightness, perhaps due to the muscat, to finish on a long, peppery finish. Equidem's double maturation produces a fine quality rum that can be enjoyed slowly with aeration 👏
